Let's see, there's revolutionary, evolutionary, incremental, and...what comes after incremental? Whatever it is, this update is about three levels below that.

Intel Announces Full Lineup of Kaby Lake Processors for iMac, MacBook Pro, and More

If you want Apple to update the processor in the Mac Pro you have to accept it will be a two year old processor. There are no skylake or kaby lake processors for the Mac Pro. So do you really want Apple to now update to an already outdated processor for marginal gains at best? The Mac Pro needs a lot of attention but the processor isn't its problem right now.
The only thing I can see from this is from zen processor. Other than that it's game over.I'm convinced that the Apple Mac Pro will soon be EOL'd due to lack of sales or more importantly the reason, lack of commitment. Mac Pro's on eBay will continue to rise in price. They are actually more valuable, flexible, productive, expandable without gimmicks than any of the new PRO that Apple has released.
Apple still doesn't have stable drivers for the Radeon 7950, the top of the line graphics card that they sold as an upgrade. Their solution was to just discontinue a portion of the affected machines, to just make it go away slowly.
Apple should start marketing its products at the CES, because they are turning into that kind of company.
Tim Cook has no vision for pro users, and possibly less respect for them than Steve Jobs did.
What is this "desktop machine" you refer to?
Unfortunately, I don't believe it does :/ Might be worth waiting in that case. Honestly though, this thing is doing what I need it to, so no complaints so far.
- Different parts of the world have price increases due to a strong US Dollar
- Don't forget Apple going all in on the touchbar. So expect a $300-$400 keyboard to be included with all new iMacs, whether you want it or not
No it follows their historic product roll-out.
This was pointed out last year amongst all the Apple haters demanding the new chip.
Yes it will be a minor improvement for the MBP, but the Mini should be good with the improvemewnt in video.
For a 15W dual core, yes.So you're saying there's a chance...for the Mac mini?
For anything better? snowballs chance in hell
And your LG 5K display is even better than the one used in the iMac 5K, supporting 10 bits per color rather than 8 bits per color.
Don't dodge the question. I didn't ask whether truth hurts. I asked why you personally are miserable.
yeah, I will
Thanks!My current MacBook Pro is the last one, I'm not into the new model for so many reasons.

at least it's more powerful than the new Apple POS, I will keep my current MacBook Pro for the first year then if everything works, not coming back again.
Apple made me waits for a whole year for nothing.
Intel wants to cast doubt that Apple is switching their Mac line to ARM in 2017 / 2018. Late 2016 Microsoft demo'd full Windows 10 with x86 (32bit) backwards compatibility running on an ARM chip and OS X's kernel already supports ARM, and Apple happens to cook up their own ARM chips in house already for iPhones and iPads.
Okays now that's what I'm waiting for: the new Dell XPS 15
The new version of that notebook should be great! I priced out a current gen fully loaded with i7/32GB mem/1TB nvme ssd/4K display/4 years of pro support for just under $3,200. The current MacBook Pro i7/16GB/512GB with apple care is about the same price makes me sad. That $300 premium for the touch bar really shows.
does this include that single port 5k video signal or whatever it is everyone has been waiting for about 3 years now? according to some processor review sites these new chips don't really perform to their claims. slightly lower power consumption and marginal if any improvement in overclocking ability and same performance at the same clock rate.
Yeah it's more powerful for less money, without the support it will cost you 2900$ fully loaded.
and you can also get the Precision 15 5000 Series (5510) which is based on the current XPS 15 design for more power (Xeon processor, two SSDs...) and it will still cheaper than the new MacBook Pro with all the ports.
It's wise to wait until they adapt the new Kaby Lake processors, won't take so long for Dell I think.
Ha Ha Ha! Classic! Good analogy...maybe true....

No...macbook pro will probably not get an update in March, but probably the iMac. That would put a very bad taste in newly bought MacBook pros buyers over the Holidays, especially paying the high prices for the top-of-the line toy. Does not make business sense, but hey...apple can do what they want I guess.
Oh...I remember when iPad 3 was updated to iPad 4 just months after iPad 3 came out. I still have a bad taste about that one...but...still use my iPad 3
